The plot is good but the book is really not.
The story is fast and seems pretty cute but the way it was written doesn't give justice to what the author wanted to say.
I find the speech pattern of Hinagiku annoying and I find annoyance in the way the same event is written again and again.
A lot of things are explained instead of showed and it's kinda weird.
It's supposed to make you feel the tension of the traumatic event and how much it affected characters but it just feels forced, almost a fever dream.
The only one I really cared about, Autumn, was shown for so little that I couldn't even feel bad about what happened.
Even the fight scene are fast, written as fast as possible.
I will read the sequel, since I've already bought it, but I'm disappointed.

Cute but god, the author read and watched way too many romcom.
It's cheesy and skipped important scenes. The smut is cringey and the whole plot was read like a porn mixed with a bad fanfiction.
I can clearly tell it's her first book.
Plus, for the love of god, stop trying to make pun and jokes that are used by 15 y.o. when the characters are almost 30.
I physically cringed and had to skip some dialogues or description bc I was dying.
Anyway, I understand the main point was the fluff but maybe the author should add some actual plot and substance to the story.
The relationship was way too fast, skipped a lot of steps and was all so rushed it was almost comical.
It felt like a self-interest.

I'm not a fan of the bet trope but I find this enjoyable. It was resolved in a pretty mature way and I really enjoyed it.
There wasn't a lot going on but it's fine for a silly cute story.

Nice and cute reading. I do feel like the author was really pushing to promote her books in the middle so some dialogues were wonky AF.
Still, well written and funny

Hell yes. I love silly, low angst, romance.
It would have been a 5 stars but they start was a bit wonky and some of the interaction are very forced and weird.
Still, they own me and I love how they kept bickering while still being very down bad.
It was a nice way to keep their characters true.
